Essential Entertainments provide professional PA systems for all types of events. Ranging from a simple 2 speaker set up suitable for school fetes etc right up to complex multi speaker arrangements for larger scale public events such as Custom Car Shows, Fireworks Displays and Outdoor Concerts.
Our 3 main concerns are Public Safety, Our Safety and Quality of Sound. All staff are highly experienced in setting up and running speaker systems in an outdoor environment. Great care is taken in decisions as to where cables are run, as to the site of the amplication point or PA room (on larger events) and to the chosen site for the actual speakers.
As far as the quality of the sound is concerned we tend not to have any problems as we use top end industry standard PA equipment which sounds excellent and moreover is safe and reliable. Nothing is infallable though and rest assured it is company policy to always have back up on site. Click here to see what kind of audio equipment we use Look At Our Equipment
